Sure the S3 is a good and fast car, but the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, is at least 4 leagues above, and a vid like this wont change facts. He was 2 gears too high if you ask me otherwise he would have left you for dead. IMO of course

Even still. If the GT3 was driven properly it would be at least 2 seconds faster to 100mph and at that speed, thats a big gap. Not reflected in this video.

Even if he was in second gear I still think he would have had you if driven properly. Bear in mind a standard S3 30-70 is 5.1 and with the mods you have probably 4.0 dead. The GT3 RS is still a second faster than that

Lets be honest...if you are in the market for a GT3 - especially an RS - you don't care how fast an S3 is....because you aren't interested.

On the road, my 8L S3 was quicker than any NA Carrera out of a 15MPH corner in 2nd...
But you wouldn't be in 2nd at 15MPH in a Carrera normally.

I don't think anyone doubts how quick the 8P S3 is when chipped...but the video doesn't really prove anything.

Jeez! Calm down mate! Don't knock him from posting a video! Nobody who see's that video with think for a second that the S3 is the quicker/better car. It's just a fun to watch video, two nice cars giving it a bit of stick :icon_thumright:

I think it's dry weight is around 1450, so wet over 1500. Quite a fat boy! 911's around 1350 right?

Maybe a GT3 RS is that low.
I think my C4S is around 1450Kg wet.
Very similar to the 8L S3 wet...so probably 50 Kg less than a 8P S3 assuming the 8P put on a little weight due to it's larger dimensions.

We'll finally find out if Jonnys car can do 0-100 in under 11 seconds!

I'll put my money on Glen though...

I can't see an S3 doing much under 13 with the mods Jonny has. What can the C4S do it in? If it's got a lot less torque, less power and similar weight I would have though it would be slower than the S3. I guess gear ratios and drag will come into play.

I'm not so sure I would.
Shorter gearing and lots more torque and a bit more power vs better traction, longer gears but less gearchanges and much less torque.

Probably all depends on how hard you launch....and how much you value your clutch.

I'm off the feeling that my 303PS Boxster S is faster than my 8P S3 was and it had a verified 330PS and 450NM of torque. Hence my reasoning that you'll be faster. I do find the BS easier to launch though!

just watched vid....seeing as Ess_Three says, the porche isnt even on tap at the start where as the S3 seems as tho hes right on the boost, also the S3 is infront from the start, yeah its a quick S3, but the porche was reeling him back in, and why from 15mhp....thats sounds like rolling road diesel talk to me lol.....in my humble opinion of course out of interest what BHP is the S3 running?

Even my 8L was brutal in 1st and 2nd (280 BHP, 330 lb-ft) but by 3rd and 80ish, where the 911 is just getting going in 3rd, it takes the advantage.
But with Audis short gearing, 1st and 2nd are over in a flash, if you are brutal enough...almost too quick in 1st!
